Buffalo Chicken wrap is delicious. Good heat to it. The guava Margarita is top tier. Definite favorite of mine. Server/Bartender was really nice. She was constantly checking up on me.Their Happy Hour is amazing.They have a nice open roof area at the back which is perfect now that it’s summer.I’ll definitely be back.

Place has 2 areas which is fantastic for people who does not like to be in crowded places. Staff is very nice and pleasant with a big smile at all times. Really like the place and is open until 4am

Local bar with good bar food reasonably priced hookah , good music and night life

Review 10 (2015-12-07 - Rating: 5)
Hospitable staff and clientele create a great environment, especially if you can keep up with the rapid-fire Spanish banter. Plenty of TVs and theyre happy to change to whatever channel you want. And the food - Ordering a chicken quesadilla at a bar comes with pretty low expectations, but Dios mio I was blown away - real quality that didnt stop at the guac or pico, which were both clearly prepared in-house by an expert, without being loud or pricey about it. A real gem.

Nice neighborhood bar with decent pub fare and nice enclosed garden in the early evening, Dominican disco at night.

Best place in town

Review 32 (2018-07-04 - Rating: 5)
They hosted my surprise birthday party and it was amazing. Kelva went above and beyond in regards to customer service. I highly recommend this place if you want to host a birthday party for someone. The food was good, the drinks were great, and the hookah was nonstop. My party had a great time as well and there were no complaints.

Review 33 (2019-06-05 - Rating: 4)
We were here because we were waiting for our dinner time with a friend who lives in the area. It looks like a neighborhood bar, where you probably see people who live in the area. The place is rather small, with a Hispanic looking lady tending the bar that time. We sat by the bar as we had a beer and a cocktail plus a small plate of fried onion rings. We enjoyed our conversation and before we knew it, it was dinner time.

Review 34 (2017-07-06 - Rating: 5)
First of great hookah! Lets not leave the environment which is the best. If you just wanna hang out with nothing to worry about,you will have a good time. So Good it Gets addicting.

It a good hookah spot, and Low key. Good if u want a club vibe without the dancing

Review 36 (2018-03-08 - Rating: 5)
This place truly has a winning recipe, unlike most bars in the neighborhood this one has happy hour. Staff is always so attentive, food is great. Been coming here for years...

Review 37 (2021-08-14 - Rating: 5)
Excellent place to lounge and hit a hookah with the gents after a good olé game of putter. I personally enjoy the onion rings the most but Joe likes his wings, Joe kinda fat but its alright because all my beer is on his tab. I been having to sneak out because the wifes no longer believes Ive been going to late night church sessions. God is my saver but he aint a five iron by no means. The place has a Abbie Van transport service close by so I never have to worry about making it home safely. Personally would recommend.
